This is why I don't like the way basketball is being treated now. It has become too commercialized. Too commercialized for its own good.
That is why I will always love the 90's era of basketball in which NBA players can play for their respective national teams the moment NBA season is over. Guys like the late Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Dino Rajda, Arvidas Sabonis, Sarunas Marciliones could play for their respective national teams the moment NBA season is over & with no restriction.

Oh, no. We just lost one of our few natural fours. Guess we're gonna see more Dwight and Malonzo at that spot, unless AJ makes the lineup.

And we lost another young player whose experience in the World Cup if he is suited up would be very valuable in future FIBA competitions.
I would rather lose a Junmar or a Japeth Aguilar than a young player like Tamayo."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Here is thing, is Tamayo really not available even in August? Yes he's recovering and can't make the Lithuanian tour to earn a spot , but are we to believe he can't practice with team in August and be a possible last minute WC inclusion if needed .
the planning for a WC roater that began 5 years ago supposedly with the 23 and 23, has so many holes and incompetent decision making.
I mean seriously WTH is Tab not being able to coach a window tantamount to kicking him out as not only coach but program director. It's really poor planning and decision making.

The narrative is always been that way...
Players are injured, still on vacation, absent due to some personal reason, non-committal due to club commitments etc. etc. and the latest promotion gimmick now is to break the previous attendance record for an official FIBA World Cup game that is the more important thing Marketing and Promotion.
Players Development and Team Training are just for news related thing and media coverage.

Should he be taken out? Maybe not but thats a big question to me. His decision making on that instance and coaching carousel.

I have very little expectation for this team. I just hope we won't get blown out much.

At this point, I don't care. We'll be having the World Cup in our backyard and God help you if you haven't bought game/day/2-day passes and are forced to listen to Andy Jao, Quinito Henson, and Dyan Castillejo while all our opponents will have Blue Cheese sauce with our 6'2 wings that are shorter than their point guards.
Chot getting a tech against Iran in 2007, much like 2013 FIBA Asia were distant memories... he lost my respect as a fan since making a fool out of himself in the 2014 Asian Games and threw Marcus Douthit under the bus because he didn't have Blatche's iso game (wala puso daw, ulol), Chot coming back after the brawl in Bulacan (proud pa nga siya eh) on the heels of what CTB managed to achieve without the help of the PBA just proves that Chot is only there looking to be relevant at a time when there are a handful of better and younger coaches who could easily replace him if basketball here was a meritocracy.
